Chapter 1101: Chapter 1098: Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone
"Young Master Xu, as the saying goes, ’A gentleman’s revenge is never too late for ten years.’ Even if you want to kill the Azure Scaled Eagle to avenge this little one, there’s no need to rush."
Fei Yan expressed her opinion: "In my view, the priority should be to find Dragon Blood Resurrection Grass. Once you remove the poison within you, it’s not too late to come back and kill."
They knew Xu Wendong was poisoned, leading him to be unable to get an erection.
But if Xu Wendong could clear the poison in his body, he could dual cultivate with them to enhance his cultivation level.
With Xu Wendong’s talent and methods, they had reasons to believe he could slay the Azure Scaled Eagle.
However, currently facing a demon beast at the Tribulation Crossing Peak, even with odds, there are significant risks.
Xu Wendong smiled slightly and said, "I already have a plan for this matter; ladies, you need not worry."
Xu Wendong also knew it would be difficult with his power to kill the Azure Scaled Eagle, and even if he did, it would offend the Golden-winged Roc.
Such an unrewarding effort, naturally, he wouldn’t take.
He looked at the Golden Crow and asked, "Little one, do you know among the four great protectors of the Avian Tribe, who has a strained relationship with the Azure Scaled Eagle?"
Golden Crow: "Red Phoenix Bird."
Red Phoenix Bird, one of the four protectors under the Golden-winged Roc, also has a Tribulation Crossing Peak cultivation level, rumored to have the bloodline of the True Phoenix.
Though its bloodline is extremely weak, its power is frightfully incredible, being the strongest among the four great protectors of the Avian Tribe.
Moreover, the territory of the Red Phoenix Bird borders the Azure Scaled Eagle.
"Perhaps we could use ’Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone’ strategy." Xu Wendong showed an insidious smile.
Bai Zhi and others’ eyes lit up.
If they use the Red Phoenix Bird to slay the Azure Scaled Eagle, it could avenge the Golden Crow, and they wouldn’t have to worry about offending the Golden-winged Roc.
It truly is killing two birds with one stone.
Golden Crow whispered: "The Red Phoenix Bird is inherently vicious; it’s unlikely to listen to you."
"Humans shape their own destiny!" Xu Wendong smiled, and then controlled the minor world, like a speck of dust, flying with the wind towards the territory of the Red Phoenix Bird.
But just as Xu Wendong was a thousand miles away from the Red Phoenix Bird’s territory, he left Penglai Immortal Island Minor World alone.
Foot on the flying sword, soaring above the clouds.
If Xu Wendong was hiding in the clouds and restrained his aura, the strong of the Avian Tribe surely would not discover him.
But now, appearing above the clouds, without hiding his aura, it was simply flaunting.
In an instant.
A large eagle over ten meters in length spotted his figure, spoke in human tongue: "Hmm, a human?"
Its sharp eyes shining fiercely, its wings pounding the air violently, producing an ear-splitting sound.
Immediately, it transformed into a black lightning bolt, launching a fierce attack on Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong sensed the eagle’s threat, his gaze tightened, the flying sword beneath his feet accelerated instantly, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
This eagle’s strength was at the Out-of-Body Peak Stage, the same realm as him.
If on the ground, Xu Wendong surely wouldn’t fear the opponent, but in the air, it ultimately wasn’t his main battlefield.
Seeing the eagle so close, he formed hand seals with both hands, the longsword underfoot whistled out, leaving a phantom in the air, directly slashing towards the eagle.
The eagle’s sharp claws were like deadly hooks, chillingly cold, clashing with Xu Wendong’s flying sword, eruptions of terrifying energy ripples.
In an instant, man and eagle had fought over a hundred rounds, yet neither had gained the upper hand.
"Perhaps, a chance to test the strength of my physical body!" Xu Wendong’s gaze burned passionately.
During his time at Lion Ridge, he hadn’t been idle, absorbing the energy and demon aura from the corpse of the Eight-Eyed Spider King.
Beyond that, he absorbed the blood and demon aura of numerous demon race strongmen.
Even if he hadn’t reached the Soul Division Phase Cultivation, his physical body had undergone earth-shattering transformation.
Thinking this, his body shuddered, a pair of fiery wings appeared behind him, like the wings of a True Phoenix, emitting rolling flames and divine light.
"Huh?"
The eagle’s eyes showed surprise, seemingly not expecting Xu Wendong to possess such divine skills.
Although it knew this was some kind of human spell, its heart felt a strong sense of oppression.
As if suppressed by bloodlines, making it uneasy and anxious.
Yet this anxiety was fleeting, its eyes revealed a sharp look, accompanied by a piercing screech.
The eagle, like a black lightning bolt, swept towards Xu Wendong.
"Here it comes!"
Xu Wendong tightly clenched his right fist, simple and straightforward, he punched out brutally.
Successfully hitting the incoming black eagle.
That punch, with an unstoppable momentum, like a rainbow.
That punch, like a meteor streaking across the sky, carrying a strong impact, instantly warping the void, giving an illusion it might disappear at any moment.
That punch, like an indestructible giant hammer, fiercely striking the void, producing a sky-shaking roar.
The sound, like Nine Heavens thunder exploding, making hearts tremble, intolerable.
Bang!
The black eagle let out a tragic cry, its body uncontrollably flew thousands of meters away, blood dripping through its feathers, looking miserable.
"How can your physical body be so terrifying?" The eagle’s eyes showed fear looking at Xu Wendong, hadn’t expected this human’s power to be so strong.
Xu Wendong: "I only used a third of my strength!"
Pfft!
The eagle spat blood, you crippled me with a punch using only a third of your strength?
Your strength is kind of terrifying!
Xu Wendong also hadn’t expected his strength to be this fearsome, though he now possessed Out-of-Body Peak Stage cultivation.
But physical body strength was not weaker than Soul Division cultivators, perhaps even surpassing them.
Seeing the heavily injured black eagle, Xu Wendong didn’t linger in battle. He lightly waved his wings, leaving a phantom in the air, swiftly flying towards the territory of the Red Phoenix Bird.
But just as he was about to reach the territory of the Red Phoenix Bird, a terrifying demon aura suddenly erupted.
The next moment.
The huge figure, like a mountain, of the Azure Scaled Eagle appeared without warning before Xu Wendong, blocking his path.
The feathers of the Azure Scaled Eagle were like emerald gems, shimmering with a cold gleam, its eyes merciless and fierce, revealing endless killing intent.
"Human, I don’t know why you have appeared within my protector’s territory."
"Since you have come, don’t dream of leaving this place!" The Azure Scaled Eagle spoke in human tongue, not hiding its killing intent.
It had been searching for the whereabouts of the Golden Crow these days but hadn’t expected to meet a human cultivator instead.
Humans, to it, were delicious, let alone having the scent of True Phoenix Blood.
For the Azure Scaled Eagle, this was a heaven-sent treasure.
Xu Wendong’s face changed; he hadn’t expected the Azure Scaled Eagle to come so fast.
In an instant, a strong sense of crisis surged through his heart.
